The best compact camera

[Kyo]

Is that in reference to the S90 / S95, or the G12? If so, do share, I'm intrigued.

Not an excuse. Have them take a picture of you, then post the pics here.

I've used the S90/95 and G11 (not had a chance to use the G12 yet), so those are what I'm comparing against... I'd have to PM them to you, as I left the last one behind in Tassie y'day - lemme know where you want them sent...

Many congratulations on the new purchase Kyo+ Love the look of the ACIEL!

Thanks very much, nickbot! I've put about 30GB worth of photos through this baby ever since I got it almost a month ago now!

I use the SQ socks pouch as a camera case for my LX3.

It does slip into my jeans that way... which says something about the size of my jeans perhaps

But the new Canon S95 is very attractive because it is more compact and has a built in lens cover. Not so good pics though ( I'm told by the boffins ).

Haven't decided... LX5 vs S95

The S90 takes awesome pics, for a compact camera you will not be disappointed.

I'm holding off - a few reviews are saying the RX100 brings in better shots that are harder to get. If so, it'd be disappointing as the F1.4 lens on the LX7 was what I was really looking forward to.

Of your orphaned LX5 needs a new home, let me know

The RX100 DEFINITELY will be better as it has a 1" sensor. That said, you can get a GX1 WITH the PowerX Zoom Lens for less than the Sony. Heck, you could get TWO S100s and shoot them for 3D and still have money left over.

My D-LUX 5 might need a new home soon

Not a fan of the GX1, it's friggin massive. Compact is what I'm after and the LX-5 was about the max in size I'd go for. Fortunately the RX100 is smaller, much smaller.

(oh, and totally agreed on the 1" sensor making all the difference - many reviews online agree)

They don't need to as it's a given.

The Sony is a great camera, just ridiculously expensive. The AF is a lot slower than Panasonic's, but you are comparing it to the fastest in the industry. As mentioned, I tested it out (one of my main criteria) and it ROCKED!
